Washington 25 th Octo. 1855.
Sir,
At the request of Dr Henry Curtis, Admr. de bonis non cum testamento annexo , of Dr Anthony Tucker Dixon, a Surgeon in the Virginia Line of the revolutionary army, I have the honor to ask information in respect to an allowance made on account of the services of the said deceased, about the year 1832, and paid to Ex-president, John Tyler, then executor of Judge Tyler, who had been the testamentary executor of Surgeon Dixon. The law of Virginia, under which Mr. Tyler represented the estate of Surgeon Dixon, having been changed, Dr. Curtis is now the legal representative.
The object is to ascertain the amount and date of the payment mentioned, and whether the same was made on account of half pay, or of commutation as

authorized by certain acts of Congress.
Presuming this matter was settled in the pension office, I respectfully ask for information upon the points stated.
Very respectfully
Your Mt. Svt.
